Asia Miles has launched with one of its regular bonus offers when you transfer credit card points across to the programme, with 10% additional miles added to your account for each transfer made, and no upper cap.

This promotion is applicable to all Cathay members with an account residential address in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Cambodia.

Recent devaluations to the Asia Miles award chart in 2023 and 2025 have dented the scheme’s appeal on many routes, but there are still some attractive options available.

These include Cathay Pacific Singapore to Hong Kong for 28,000 miles in Business Class, Singapore to Frankfurt for 88,000 miles in Business Class, and on other airlines like Finnair Bangkok or Phuket to Helsinki for 63,000 miles in Business Class.

Under this offer you’ll get a 10% bonus when making transfers to the programme, provided you:

• Register to participate in the promotion on or before 31st October 2025; and
• Convert credit card points from an eligible finance partner any time from 1st October 2025, with the conversion completed and credited to your Asia Miles account by 31st October 2025 at the latest

Importantly, unlike some previous deals Cathay has run, there is no limit to the number of conversions and number of points that can be converted within the promotion period with this bonus offer.

Under this deal you’ll also get a 10% bonus with eligible transactions across other ‘lifestyle categories’, including shopping with Cathay and its partners, Cathay Holidays and dining accruals, though it’s the credit card transfer element that will be of most interest to our readers.

Registration required

You will have to successfully register for this Asia Miles offer during the promotion period, using the following link.

  Asia Miles 10% Bonus Registration

You can register ay any time during the promotion period, but to keep it ‘tidy’ we’d recommend doing so before transferring your credit card points into the scheme.

Registering your account for the bonus will generate an email confirmation from Asia Miles confirming that you have enrolled successfully, so it’s good to show you did this from the outset in case of any issues later on.

After 31st October 2025 it will be too late to register for the bonus, even if you made one or more transfers during the promotion period.

Again, there is no limit to the number of miles conversions you can complete and no limit on the amount of points converted during this promotion.

Eligible transfer partners

In Singapore you can transfer credit card points across to the Asia Miles programme from the following banks.

Bank	Eligible Points
	Membership Rewards
	BOC Points
	Citi ThankYou Points / Citi Miles
	DBS Points
	HSBC Reward Points
	Maybank TREATS Points
	OCBC$ 90°N Miles Voyage Miles
	360° Rewards
	UOB UNI$

Transfer ratios

Here are the new ‘effective’ transfer ratios from eight eligible Singapore banks into Asia Miles during this promotion, at the 10% bonus level.

The minimum transfer quantity is shown for each finance partner / credit card.

Bank
	10% Bonus
MR Points	450* Points	250 275 Miles
Points	27,000 Points	6,000 6,600 Miles
Miles	10,000 Miles	10,000 11,000 Miles
ThankYou Points	25,000 Points	10,000 11,000 Miles
Points	5,000 Points	10,000 11,000 Miles
Reward Points	25,000 Points	10,000 11,000 Miles
TREATS Points	12,500 Points	5,000 5,500 Miles
OCBC$	10,000 Points	2,900 3,190 Miles
90°N Miles	1,000 Miles	750 825 Miles
Voyage Miles	1,000 Miles	750 825 Miles
360° Rewards	25,000 Points	10,000 11,000 Miles
UNI$	5,000 UNI$	10,000 11,000 Miles

* Amex Platinum Charge and Centurion members require only 400 Points per transfer block

Note that OCBC transfers to Asia Miles at a lousy rate compared to KrisFlyer. Even with this 10% bonus in play, the ‘damage’ is not repaired – so it’s likely not worth considering.

The bonus won’t credit immediately

Bonus miles under this promotion will be credited to your Asia Miles account by 15th January 2026 at the latest, which means you’ll get the standard transfer rate applicable for your bank / card product initially, topped up with the relevant bonus level as a separate credit by the end of this year.

That means you won’t be able to take advantage of the 10% bonus for a short-term flight redemption.

What if the bonus doesn’t credit?

You’ll have until 31st January 2026 to notify Asia Miles if you do not receive the expected bonus miles. That’s quite a short window since the bonus might only have come through a couple of weeks before that (by 15th January 2026).

From 1st February 2026 onwards it’s unfortunately too late to claim any missing bonus, so be sure to check and plan a chase-up with Asia Miles if required.

Transfer time

Aside from registering your Asia Miles account for the 10% promotional transfer bonus, it’s important to consider the lead time for your bank to miles transfer.

Eligible Transactions should be credited and recorded in the member’s statement by 31 October 2025 to be eligible for the Promotional Offer

Cathay

Many banks will quote 5-10 working days (i.e. up to two weeks) to complete this process, but in reality most are much quicker. While we have more experience with KrisFlyer transfers, we have the following data points for Asia Miles transfers we have made, or our readers have shared:

• BOC SG: 6 weeks (why bother?)
• Citi SG: 2 working days
• DBS SG: 4 working days
• HSBC SG: Instant
• UOB SG: 3 working days

Our recommendation is to initiate any transfers by Friday 24th October 2025 to allow five clear working days before the end of the promotion.

If you prefer to err on the safe side, do it by Friday 17th October 2025, to allow an additional week.

Asia Miles award rates

As we mentioned earlier in the article, the Asia Miles programme unfortunately suffered a post-COVID devaluation, which came with plenty of notice but took effect for redemptions made from October 2023.

There were then some minor changes from mid-April 2025, with a few award rates in Economy Class dropping in cost, while some increased, and longer awards in Business Class also saw a rate hike.

Here’s how the latest redemption rates look.

Cathay Pacific Asia Miles redemption changes
October 2025
(one-way miles x 1,000)

Distance in miles	Eco	PY	Biz	First
1 – 750	7	11	16	25
751 – 2,750 (Type 1)	9	20	28	43
751 – 2,750 (Type 2)	13	23	32	50
2,751 – 5,000	20	38	58	90
5,001 – 7,500	27	50	88	125
7,501+	38	75	115	160

Here’s what it means for some popular redemptions among our readers:

• Singapore to Hong Kong in Business Class
  28,000 miles
• Singapore to Frankfurt in Business Class
  88,000 miles
• Singapore to London in Business Class
  115,000 miles
• Hong Kong to London in First Class
  125,000 miles

On the plus side, if you’re the type who is happy to redeem 10,000 Asia Miles plus taxes and fees to fly in Economy from Singapore to Hong Kong, for example, that now only costs you 9,000 Asia Miles, 10% less than it did earlier this year.

Award pricing for partner bookings, including on Oneworld carriers, is shown below.

Note: There are some minor differences for Japan Airlines domestic and short-distance award flights

Here’s how that looks for some awards popular with our readers:

• Singapore to Perth in Business Class on Qantas
  33,000 miles
• Bangkok to Helsinki in Business Class on Finnair
  63,000 miles
• Singapore to London in Business Class on Qatar Airways
  89,000 miles

Asia Miles: Other things to know

Here are some other basics of the Asia Miles programme it’s worth knowing before you commit to a significant points transfer.

• You can change the date of your Asia Miles award booking for US$25 per person per sector (online) or US$40 per person per sector (over the phone).
• You can change the destination of your Asia Miles award booking for US$100 per person per ticket.
• You can cancel your Asia Miles award booking and have your miles redeposited and taxes / fees refunded for US$120 per person per ticket.

You may lose flexibility

Transfers from bank points to miles are strictly one-way, so by taking advantage of this bonus you will be restricting yourself to the Asia Miles programme for future redemptions using the miles transferred under this offer.

That might be enough to put you off.

If you’re a Citi customer for example, with a large volume of Citi Miles or ThankYou Points, you can transfer those into 10 different frequent flyer programmes, with options across all three major alliances plus Etihad Guest, which has a ‘mini-alliance’ of its own.

Here’s the latest list of loyalty programmes you can transfer your Singapore credit card points into, as of 3rd October 2025.

By transferring a large volume of your points into Asia Miles, you may also be exposing yourself to any potential future devaluations in the programme before you get chance to use them.

Keeping your miles at the bank side, especially with Citi, protects you against this since you can then opt to transfer into a range of other programmes instead if you wish (on the theory they won’t all devalue at the same time!).

Terms and conditions

You can view full details about this promotion including a list of terms and conditions on this page of the Cathay site.

Cathay is offering a 10% transfer bonus to Asia Miles from credit card points between now and 31st October 2025, but as usual you must register to receive the bonus (whether you’ll take advantage or not, there’s no harm in registering anyway).

Also be sure to factor in the variable transfer times from credit card providers to make sure you don’t miss out.

Do be aware that some Asia Miles award rates have increased recently, including longer flights in Business Class from Singapore to Europe by around 5%, somewhat impacting the attractiveness of this 10% bonus offer.

  Asia Miles 10% Bonus Registration

There are therefore fewer “sweet spots” left in the programme, though some great value awards like Bangkok to Helsinki on Finnair in Business Class still come in at a competitive 63,000 miles, with minimal taxes.

Remember that you will be waiting over two months after the end of the promotion to have the bonus miles credited to your account. That’s something to bear in mind if you’re planning to make a transfer with the intention of locking in a specific Asia Miles award in the near future.
